"He feels like he's in a good spot. We've just got to manage it here and manage the practice with him, too.
He's a hardworking guy, and he puts a lot into his game with preparation and practice and all that. And sometimes you've got to pull those guys back a little bit.
We need him in the games. He works extremely hard, tries on every play. If he was out there (practising) today, he's going to be competing on every puck. He's at the level where he's playing a lot and needs his days."
